There is much more that I could write about this here on this subject but I have to think about the safety and security of my family.
My getting arrested for inciting violence and making threats would benefit no one.
My advanced age has given me the benefit of overriding the hot headedness that I had in my youth.
Instead, I now think twice before acting or speaking rashly.and when I act I do so very deliberately.
In fact, I am quite positive that I am not alone in this.
Basically this is the sole reason why these fucking ghouls on the Left are still wasting oxygen.
If they couldn’t tolerate Charlie Kirk and his politeness and desire for verbal discourse, I can guaranfuckingtee that they aren’t going to like what comes now that they have shut that option down.
Phil has a huge extravaganda of a wedding to go to all day Saturday. The Kid is getting married and his future Bride’s parents are shelling out about $25K for it from what I hear.
It’s at their very own private winery with their very own vineyards and about 200 fucking people are supposed to attend.
Phil is very much not looking forward to this event and will be stuffed into his brand new $650 suit along with brand new dress shoes guaranteeing that he will be a miserable fucking bastard.
Do any of you smart phone addicts have a solution?
Kevin, I’m a troglodyte. I bought a smartphone, thinking that I would be able to see the videos and pictures that you and Phil post, but no, only occasionally.
I switched from an old iPhone 6S to a Motorola e13, is there some software programme that I need to source, or is Bustednuckles only intended for viewing on a proper PC?

A couple days before my younger brother showed up to build me a new gate for the side yard a couple weeks ago, he came over and dropped off an old Craftsman riding mower that he had been using once in a while for many years.
It quit moving on him and he got fed up with messing with it. This after he spent $500 having some guy do a bunch of work to it earlier at some point.
This wasn’t just any old mower.
My Dad had owned it for at least a few years and I had wanted it after he passed away but the wife threw a fit saying I didn’t need it and when my brother piped up saying he did, away it went.
Talking to my brother, he said that dad has been dead for 12 years now. I can’t remember things like that to save my life. Me and dates don’t work well together. Armed with that information, I guessed that the mower must be at least 15 years old but it is actually in pretty decent shape, especially compared to the POS I have been constantly thrashing on to keep operational for the last few years.
My brother even still had the original manual and records for the thing and while I was busting my ass all day last saturday on the thing, I opened it up to discover I was way wrong about how old it actually is.
The damn thing was built in 1997 which makes it 28 years old!
I know the Old man always kept it in a tin shed while he had it and my brother kept it inderneath a covered area next to a tool shed which goes a long ways explaining why it still looks halfway decent after all these years.
When he brought it over the battery was dead, the carb was leaking fuel and when I tried jump starting it the spark plug got gas fouled. It also had a very flat rear tire.
We pulled the deck out from under it and pushed it into the side yard which is when he volunteered to replace the rotten gate.
I started in on it and started ordering parts as soon as I could.
First thing was a new carb with a new fuel shut off solenoid. The old one was leaking gas and the solenoid only worked when I wiggled the wiring connector.
Then I ordered new spindles for the deck and some tubes for the back tires.
The carb showed up a couple days later and came with the solenoid, a connector and some wiring, a new fuel filter, spark plug, some cheap fuel lines that were too small and a manual in-line shut off valve.
Yup, she was a virgin.
A dirty, nasty, crusty old virgin.
After short thrash session last Saturday I finally got the engine to run and it runs like a sewing machine.
After all these years.
When I put a couple gallons of gas in the tank and while I was messing with the drive belt I noticed that there was gas leaking onto the inside of the tire that keeps going flat. Something else I am going to have to fix and that is going to be a bitch.
I have to tear the entire back off the thing because the tank is under the rear fender assembly and the seat.
Oh Yay.
After I got it running I jumped in the seat, pushed on the clutch pedal and put it into gear.
When I let the clutch out, the engine immediately bogged down and smoke started pouring out from underneath the thing.
That would explain why it quit moving on my brother, the drive belt had jumped the pully and got wedged under it on the Hydrostatic rear end.
That turned out to be a story all of it;s own.
When I went to the parts store and talked to my Go To guy, he said it took an 81 inch belt.
When he brought it out, I had the old one with me and I asked him to make sure they were the same.
Long story short, they weren’t actually. I spent two hours laying on my side in the gravel fighting that bastard to get it on and when I finally did, I discovered that I had almost no travel left on the clutch pedal.
I could get it to go into gear and get it to stop by shifting the transmission in and out of gear but I had no neutral using the clutch.
Later on during the week I did some homework and the numbers in the manual weren’t matching the 81 inch belt.
After messing with it and actually running it around a bit I finally got about an inch of travel on the clutch pedal but I had to go back up to the parts store for some oil and a filter for the thing and showed him the number for the belt I found in the manual. It’s 82 and 3.4’s of an inch long. I bought one but I’m going to change that out later.
Yesterday spent several hours changing out the spindles.
I could see that someone had replaced at least one before but when I finally got them out, the actual shaft and the bearings just fell out of one of the housings so I was glad I was replacing them before dragging the deck back under it and attaching it.
I did that today.
After messing with figuring out some of the linkage that my brother had disconnected while I wasn’t watching when we stuck it in the side yard originally, I finally got the damn thing put back together today.
I fired it up, ran it in front of the garage and put air in the tires.
Then I took it out and actually mowed the damn lawn with it.
Fifteen minutes after I got done, Fed Ex showed up with the 2 new rear tires I ordered for it last week.
So now I have to jack the thing up, take the wheels off and throw everything in the back of the truck. One day next week I will leve early for work and stop by the ancient tire shop that I drive by on my way to work and have the young guy put the new tires on.
Right now I am tired and sore from thrashing on it but I am a happy camper.
The Old man would be happy to see his old mower put back together and working and I am happy that after I get the new tires on I won’t have to be constantly thrashing on a POS riding mower anymore.
After working on this two days of a three day weekend plus both days last weekend, I am taking tomorrow off. I called my kids and we are all going over to Washougal and going fishing on the Columbia off the dock there tomorrow.
Just like we used to do when they were little.
Except this time my 6 foot 2, 12 year old grandson is going to join us.
Someone leaked 100,000 Emails of Ehud Barak’s (ex prime minister of Israel) and Ian Carrol delivers the goods. Epstein was secretley working with Barak and they were surveilling Hillary Clinton’ campaign, Peter Theil, Putin, Netanyahu, Bezos and a bunch of other people. Not only were they Emailing back and forth, they were magnitudes smarter than Hillary and would either meet face to face or use the phone to discuss really sensitive issues because they didn’t want to leave a written trail.
This is a Must Watch and you need to realize that they have just begun to analyze all of this so we can expect some real bombshells coming later.
